My personal solution was to just drop computers/tech as an major interest, and find some other hobby. I found language learning to be a good alternative, because:

1. You may be able to use it professionally.

2. It might be useful when traveling.

3. You can meet interesting people from various parts of the world and very often for free (language exchanges (online or not), playing video games, etc.).

4. You are able to absorb other people’s massive culture, that might not be popular in your part of the world.

5. You might impress some people with language skills, if you care about that.

6. It is good for your brain.

7. It is fun.

As for computers, I mostly use them as a tool nowadays, and occasional video gaming and YouTube watching. I mostly don’t care about AI, or any other technological marvel that isn’t proven yet to be useful, maybe except AR and VR which I still hope will be a big thing in the near future. Especially AR.

Does that take into account that AI models will become more efficient with time?

That would be Minix 3, I think, because it runs in (yes, in) all modern Intel CPU’s.

There are no actual worms in the universe, only bunch of atoms.

I am amazed that people still use Xitter.

I mean it’s not really that surprising. We are pretty similar to apes (and maybe monkeys?) socially.

So what do you recommend, Siberia?

Who even buys shit because of ads?

Stuff likes this me think that modern technology is glued together random shit that somehow works, or at least as long as you are using your phone like a zoomer or a normie which only scrolls Facebook. The moment you do something that is not done by >90% of users, you will only encounter random fucking bugs and freezes (although these also happen when normally using an app, see YouTube Music in which it takes forever to load the library while offline completely making downloading songs completely useless).

I have a moderately new mid (mid-high?) range phone (from 2021) and it’s crazy how often software freezes or just glitches the fuck up, despite of running on a device that’s probably millions times faster than a computer used to launch people to the fucking moon. In no period of history the technology was so unresponsive as nowadays. I think it just went worse from mid 2010’s (or maybe even earlier) onwards.

Yeah, that’s what I actually did on my secondary computer (laptop), where I dual booted Windows 10 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, before switching entirely to openSUSE.

I am planning to do the same for my main PC, but instead of doing different partitions for each OS, I will most likely give Linux (probably openSUSE as well, but I might try Fedora Atomic this time) an entire SSD for it’s use.

That’s fine, I also pretty much prefer standard Unix tools, due to how efficient they are, but you can’t just say made up stuff with no valid explanation, because Powershell has still nothing to do with bash.

Powershell has a completely different approach of working with commands than traditional Unix shells. You pretty much don’t know what you are talking about.

Powershell at first seems to be weird and clunky, but after you get used to its syntax you can quickly look up and use its commands without much guessing.

It’s a good thing. After all, I don’t care when Amazon goes down.

And even for that cases it’s bloated as fuck.

Not a problem for me, since I plan to stop using Windows in 2025.

The year is 2039.

After successful launch of AILook replacement NextAI, Google is discontinuing traditional Google Search.

I genuinely in 2024 I don’t see why would anyone want to use any Microsoft product. They (alongside with Google) present themselves as malicious companies that only care about user data and providing user notorious ads.

I am not sure if this is real, but I do remember seeing some hilarious image captions on Wikipedia playing with words, etc. It’s like it’s the only fun on Wikipedia allowed.

What would anybody even use 4 TB SD card for? Storing a shit-ton of pirated movies that you can watch on your phone? Aside from that I have no idea. 256 gigs is probably more than enough for anything a normal user would do on a phone.
